Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

Chapter 181 The Shadow of a Lifetime

I was wondering why I heard those rattling sounds of gears jamming; oh, so that's what was going on. (Novel excerpt)

The white mouse, however, didn't die from the impact; instead, it started rolling around on the ground in agony, which shows how much pain it must have felt.

It wouldn't be bad to just fly up there, but there was a staff member in white holding a large net waiting for us at the window above.

If we rush up there, we'll be going back to our deaths. So I shouted to the little white mouse, "Little white mouse, hurry up and hit that red button!"

But after I called out, the white mouse just rolled around on the ground and ignored me completely. I felt really guilty. Had I really hit it too hard?

But now, just as the elevator is about to go up, the staff above are waiting for us with a large net.

If I don't come up with something soon, I'm really doomed. At the very least, Da Huang and Meng Meng will definitely be taken back.

Now all I can do is grit my teeth, stomp my foot, close my eyes, and thrust into that white mouse's anus again. Now everything depends on the white mouse.

what……

Oh……

As the white mouse's voice came over, the white mouse rushed towards the button again and crashed into the stop button with a thud.

The elevator beneath us finally stopped, and as it did, I collapsed onto the ground, completely exhausted. It was so thrilling! This was more terrifying than a roller coaster!

But at this moment, the hero mouse was still rolling around on the ground, clearly in great discomfort.

I don't know why those fujoshi (female fans of male-male romance) like the withered chrysanthemum so much. I can tell from the expression on the lab rat's face that the withered chrysanthemum is a very painful thing. How can they like it so much?

When those fujoshi (female fans of male-male romance) are asked by their boyfriends to "cut off their anus," they absolutely refuse. They're like dead fish, legs spread wide, playing on their phones. They won't even take a few bites, let alone cut off their anus.

But I don't know why I like it so much when I see chrysanthemums in TV shows or novels. This is something I can't understand.

We were finally safe, no longer having to worry about the elevator falling and killing us. But before I could even feel happy for a moment, there was a loud crash, and the elevator shook violently a few times.

I immediately looked toward the source of the sound, and what I saw almost scared me to death.

A bald, burly man in white overalls stood on our elevator, holding a net in his hand.

"Doctor, Doctor, it's dangerous! Come up quickly!" I was still in shock when the staff member on the window shouted anxiously.

Holy crap, this is actually a PhD from the research institute. But looking at his equipment and gear, he does resemble the villainous PhD from a Disney animation.

"Damn it, I can't believe you guys managed to escape! I was almost there, and you guys tried to run away from inside. None of you are getting away today!" The doctor, standing on the elevator, ignored the shouts from the staff at the window above and yelled at Big Yellow and Mengmeng.

It's obvious that Mengmeng and Dahuang are important research subjects, while Dafu and I were too small to see them. As for the white mouse, it's currently frantically pricking itself with needles on the ground, probably thinking it's about to die.

"Doctor, you're in danger! Come up quickly!" The staff upstairs were extremely anxious, fearing something had happened to the doctor.

It's easy to imagine how valuable a research PhD, especially one who is currently conducting research, is to a hospital.

Therefore, the employees above are extremely anxious. However, the more attention a person receives, the more likely they are to develop a sense of arrogance, which will gradually lead to them becoming conceited and disdainful of others.

For example, the PhD student is like that. He ignored the shouts from above and took the net and went straight for Mengmeng and Dahuang.

The net has stopped now, so Da Huang and Meng Meng have opened their eyes. It's clear that the doctor didn't treat Da Huang and Meng Meng very well, so their first reaction after being caught in the net was to break free.

While struggling to break free from both sides, there was a stick behind the doctor's net. So, by sheer bad luck, the stick accidentally poked the descent button while the two sides were pulling.

Holy crap, I'm speechless. How could I possibly bump into the elevator button like that? I'm about to cry. Can't I just live like this?

I'm just a bystander. Can't you settle your scores later? What's going on here?

You don't care about your lives, but I do! You don't mind living longer, but I want to live a few more years!

As the elevator plummeted downwards again, Da Huang and Meng Meng were instantly stunned and huddled in a corner, too frightened to move.

I thought this PhD student was somewhat capable, that he might be able to press the stop button or something, but something else happened that left me completely baffled.

That doctor was probably someone who was prone to acting impulsively. He was so arrogant before, with an air of invincibility, and jumped down by himself. Now, as the elevator was rapidly falling downwards, the doctor instantly collapsed to the ground, completely cowered.

Am I kidding? The elevator is plummeting downwards again, and these guys are all lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

Seeing that it was about to fall, I looked at the white mouse again.

At that moment, the white mouse probably sensed my gaze and gave me a look of despair, shaking its head as it looked at me.

It's obvious the lab rat is scared now, really scared. Its chrysanthemum is withered, and the ground is covered in wounds. It must have been seriously injured.

I could also sense the despair in the little white mouse's eyes, so I glanced around. But now Mengmeng and Dahuang were hiding in a corner, and the doctor was also hiding in a corner in fear, with his hands covering his head, waiting for the elevator to fall.

I honestly can't find any other creatures besides mice to help me right now.

I could only crawl with difficulty toward the white mouse, but the mouse was looking at me with despair and shaking its head, as if saying, "Please don't come any closer."

I had no other choice. Now, only lab rats can save everyone. No one else can. I was forced into this situation.

I raised the toothpick in my hand, but now I felt like I wasn't raising a toothpick, but rather an unusually heavy sense of mission.

Looking at the chrysanthemum that had turned slightly red, I knew that if it were inserted again, the damage would be devastating, and the mouse might be left with a lifelong shadow of trauma.
